Every now and then I look around our house a little disheartened. The paint has chipped a lot from wear and tear. It wouldn't be an easy fix, it needs to be re-done. The dog has scratched the paint off the window sill. The master bedroom bath needs to be updated as does the kitchen. We can't stand our kitchen. Its older, isn't a good use of space and you bang your head if you are trying to talk to someone in the great room. Our old house was all brand new...beautiful and dreamy.
But we know where our money has gone. It went to getting HIM. The Freets. And for the second I feel disappointed that the house doesn't look the way I think it should...I think of HIM.
I think about this being his first home. I love that we can see the fireworks off Lake Washington from our front lawn. He plays in his little wading pool off the back deck in the summer. And that Cabo now sleeps outside his bedroom next to the scratched up walls. The house is beautiful because of HIM. Its our home, and all the upgrades can wait. It was worth the money.

what a great picture of little freeto. Love your thoughts. And I LOVE your house.
He looks like a big kid. He has gotten bigger since we left. I miss him, we all miss him! He was soooo worth the money but if you ever want to get rid of him, I get first dibs!
